Question
We want to conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that the population mean reading speed of second graders is different from 30.6 words per minute. So, we choose a random sample of students' reading speeds. The sample has a mean of 31.1words per minute and a standard deviation of 2.8 words per minute.
For each of the following sampling scenarios, choose an appropriate test statistic for our hypothesis test on the population mean. Then calculate that statistic. Round your answers to two decimal places.
The sample has size 100, and it is from a non- |

The sample has size 20, and it is from a normally distributed population with an unknown standard deviation. | ||

- A group of transfer bound students wondered if they will spend the same mean amount on texts and supplies each year at their four-year university as they have at their community college. They conducted a random survey of 54 students at their community college and 66 students at their local four-year university. The sample means were $947 and $1,011, respectively. The population standard deviations are known to be $254 and $87, respectively.

From now on, suppose that you do not know the population standard deviation. Therefore, you instead calculated the sample standard deviation, and it was $0.85. What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean price of gas per gallon? Using the sample standard deviation value from Question 19 ($0.85), what is the 95% confidence interval if the sample mean price is $3.15? Do you think that the confidence interval will change if you knew that there are 1200 number of gas stations in total in Indiana?

Have teams been more successful at fundraising this year? To find out, you take a random sample of 36 teams. Your sample of 36 teams yields a mean of $396 and a standard deviation of $70. Might you have made a Type 1 or Type 2 error? A Type 1. This means that we said that the mean amount raised had increased, when it was actually still $375. B You might have made a calculation error. C Neither- we're sure the average has increased. D Type 2. This would mean that we said there was not enough evidence to say the mean had increased from $375, when it actually is higher than $375.
